Opinions from others: I believe the generator Boss Hogg mentioned is a Chicago Electric Generator from Harbor Freight. You may not be able to get parts for the Chicago set. Can we call it China Electric, because I'm not even sure Chicago Electric even has a office in Chicago. As Chicago...

It may be a non-Kubota loader from a small manufacturer like mine was on my B7100. AK

Thanks Moog. That makes sense. I don't have a manual for the tractor and found this document on line that has instructions on adjusting the fan belt. http://www.scribd.com/doc/73181550/13/FAN-DRIVE-BELT-TENSION

OTT'ers, I performed some normal maintenance on my B7100 HST today, Oil Change, Fuel and Air filters. Also, I changed the radiator cap. After I finished, I started the tractor up and drove it down the driveway (200 ft) and back to the garage. When, I shut it off, I noticed antifreeze running...

I agree with vtmbz, sounds like air in the fuel system. When I bought my B7100, I unloaded it from the trailer and was driving it around the yard when it ran out of fuel. I was so excited to have the tractor that I neglected to check the diesel. Have you seen Service Vic's video on...

Everyone, Thanks for the feed back. They are are very good points and now, with the advice and support from fellow OTT'ers, I am leaning to keeping my tractor and fixing some other issues like a leaky FEL hose and the steam from radiator that just showed up yesterday. Now, that I think about...

I pose this question after a visit to my local Kubota dealer. I have 2,100 hours on my B7100 4X4 HST ( newer Model). My dealer tells me that this is a high number of hours on my tractor. Not so much for the engine but the rest of the tractor is gettin worn out. I recently, rebuilt my front drive...

Mine is a Woods Du Al Model 95 FEL. My kubota dealer says you can get parts from them. I suggest going to the Woods web site and see if you can get the parts list for your model. AK

I think the roll pin is just less than 1/4 inch cause it is metric. If you go to messicks.com website you can down load the parts diagram for the drive shaft. The guy at messicks told me that the last digits of the part number is the actual metric size. They cost only around a $1.20 a piece...

Yesterday I got the driveshaft back. I did use Messicks to order my Kubota parts. They are a good source. I spoke with a friendly guy that knew exactly what I needed and spoke tractor english. I received the parts in 4 days and paid $250 for all the drive shaft parts. I would highly...

Well, just came into the house. Success! :D I got the darn thing out. I couldn't pull the bit out, so I pounded the bit through the roll pin and then tried to use a vice grip and a reckon bar to pull the bit out. The bit broke off at the base of the pin, so after some JB Blaster and a roll...

Ron, No, the bit is not broken off. I figured I better take a break before I did break it. I will try a vice grip with some WD 45 sprayed on the roll pin and bit. The pin is out of the shaft just a little so maybe I can get a pinch with the vice grip but I doubt it. AK

While the drive shaft is getting rebuilt I am trying to remove a sheared off roll pin from the transmission spindle. It is broken off and I bought a roll pin punch with not luck. It is stuck tight and won't budge at all. I also tried using a small drill bit to cut into the pin. Well, things went...

KubotaPete, I think you should sell it so it can be redone and serve another owner for years to come. How many hours are on the tractor? Is it HST? AK
